Galeyville's post office was established
January 6, 1881 and discontinued May 31, 1882. Named after John
H. Galey, who was an oil man from Texas, this town had a smelter
which was later moved to Benson, AZ. Galeyville only lasted 2
years and had quite a reputation for being a hangout for outlaws,
especially Curly Bill Brocious. It is uncertain whether the mines
played out or Galey got in over his head, but he made good on
his debts and the town died. The smelter was moved to Benson
and the buildings to Paradise and Galeyville, for having once
had 500 residents, was no more.
